Social Isolation

People are built for social contact. It’s an inborn trait, certain and inevitable, located in the brain called the amygdala. That brain structure causes the need for human companionship.

When living in a society, we are bound to have friends, relatives and colleagues because we interact with them on a daily basis.

Three such areas of research include: sense of belonging, self-esteem, and wellness, which are the focal areas of the present study. Students’ development of sense of belonging is an important factor in college success and retention. For example, students’ sense of belonging has been shown to influence their commitment to the university, intentions to persist, and actual persistence (Hausmann, Schofield, & Woods, 2002). Hoyle and Crawford (1994) conducted study with college students and showed that sense of belonging was negatively correlated with depression and loneliness; that is, the more students felt they belonged the less likely they experienced depression and loneliness. Other studies suggest that sense of belonging at the class level was positively correlated with intrinsic motivation and academic self-efficacy (Freeman, Anderman, and Jensen, 2007).
